Oz: The Great and Powerful

While we are on the subject of Wizard of Oz derivatives, has anyone seen the Syfy miniseries Tin Man? Is it worth the time and effort?

It's gonna be interesting to see if they tell the story how one of the Witches creates the ALL powerful Ruby Slippers...Something happens where the 3 Witches believes Oz (the con-artist) is GREAT and powerful yet one of the Witches still ends up with the slippers or creating them in some way....

It'll more interesting to see if they decide to go for the silver shoes instead of ruby slippers, and be more consistent with Baum's work.
 
And we have a trailer. . .



Already some of our questions have answers. And evidently Kansas has always been black and white.
 
It was so exciting to see that glimpse of Elphaba! I hope they don't contradict the 'Wicked' series. I loved those books.

I'm actually pretty excited! I wish it wasn't so obviously inspired by Alice in Wonderland but I'm still pretty excited!

Hahaha - I thought the exact same thing when I saw the trailer.

I think they already contradicted 'Wicked' by calling the Wicked Witch of the West Theodora.

I hear what you're saying but The Wizard of Oz & Return to Oz featured the ruby slippers....If Disney plans on honoring the franchise they'll stick with Ruby red....
 
I expect the visuals to be amazing and truly fantasy like. But I'm a bit iffy about this. I'd still go see it but the fact that Disney is involved kind of worries me. But what do I know, I'm just a newbie
 
It worries me because it looks too much like Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which was a disappointment. And the black and white Kansas is unnecessary. Technicolor has been out since the Wizard of Oz, so transitioning from Kansas to Oz is not going to wow audiences like it did in 1939 and have the same effect. Maybe the actual story will end up being this movie's saving grace.

I believe the sepia to color transition is their homage to the 1939 movie.

If it's homages to the 1939 movie they are interested in doing, then I want to see James Franco sing Over the Rainbow.

Well, they were going to do that, but JF refused to wear a blue gingham dress...go figure.
 
Frankly, after the debacle at the Oscars, JF should avoid wearing any dresses, blue gingham or otherwise.

The purchaser was possibly under the mistaken belief that it was a 'one and only' when in fact there were about half a dozen pairs... just like the blue gingham dress.

I'm pretty sure any party willing to spend that much dough would have some idea of what they were purchasing. I would hope the new proud owner is some kind of org looking to display, but you never know. (Especially when they don't tell.)

Only four sets of Judy Garland’s ruby slippers remain. One in the Smithsonian, the pair stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, a mismatched pair owned by collector Michael Shaw and these [$2mill] shown on “Hollywood Treasures” known as the “beauty pair” used for close-ups, such as Dorothy’s exit scene with Glinda.

The failure of Alice had much to do with Linda Woolverton's script, which took a much-loved well-established classic and butchered it!

Also Mia Wasikowska's 'Alice' just did not hit the right notes as far as I was concerned.
